I don't know what Gene Spring does, can you provide an example?
The Iyer517 data package is an example of a time course
experiment carried out with cDNA arrays. This can be
visualized using the parcoord function of MASS (once
you convert the exprSet data to a matrix) and interactive
brushable graphics of the time series can be created
using ggobi/Rggobi.
If we extended the exprSet class to timedExprSet, where
there was a standard encoding of the time course, a plot
method which used one of these methods of visualization
would be straightforward. Consider this an RFC -- do we need
it, if so what should it look like? Or is there something
in bioc that I am forgetting about?
